A recognized leader in child care, the New Canaan YMCA offers family-focused recreational and social programs that meet your family’s needs not only during work hours when you can’t all be together, but also when you can!

We have two things in common with you:  We work hard, and we believe nothing is more important than your kids.  The YMCA’s philosophy on child care is that simple.

YMCA Childcare is an asset-rich environment, where we truly believe the philosophy that “All Kids Are Our Kids.”  We appreciate that each child is an individual and strive to create an environment that stimulates and nurtures all children.  Our qualified, seasoned staff embraces all children and their families.

In short, nothing compares to the quality of YMCA child care. The New Canaan YMCA offers quality, licensed child care for children ages 6 weeks through grade 6, all in our renovated South Avenue facility.  Parents and children alike will feel comfortable with the consistent, loving care provided. 

The New Canaan YMCA offers reliable after-school programming for children in kindergarten through grade six from school dismissal to 6:00pm daily.  Participants may register for 3, 4, or 5 days per week.

The program operates at the YMCA’s South Avenue facility and follows the New Canaan public school calendar (extended program available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday).  Bus transportation from the New Canaan public and St. Aloysius schools is provided.  Extended days are available when New Canaan schools have early dismissals, and vacation programs are available at reduced rates during most public school holidays.

Our energetic, qualified staff provide experiences that promote self-esteem, independence, and responsibility.  Activities include organized gym activities and outdoor play, sports and games, swimming, arts and crafts, stories, music, special events, local trips, and homework assistance.  We maintain a staff-to-child ratio of at least ten to one.
